Question

Cannot change sort order in import dialog on iphone

When you add photos to a folder on the iPhone and you select from Lightroom option it will show you the files in the last order you set in the standard photo gallery view. You cannot change it from the import dialog. You have to go to the main view change it there and then go back.

 

That's a bug

You are saying the sort order shown in the Lightroom tab is the opposite of the default sort order shown for the iOS Album in the LR app's Device tab?  In other words iOS albums sort with the newest at the bottom, and Lightroom displays newest at the top?

In the Lightroom tab (or Edit tab for the free app), most albums allow sort order to be changed.  The exception is Imports, which does only show newest at the top.  But All Photos, My Edits, and other LR albums can change the sort order.

I worry I'm missing your point.  If so, could you attach a screen recording showing your workflow?  In the LR app Settings > Input screen, if you toggle ON "Show Touches" this will help us see what your actions are.

I just want to be able to change the sort order from the add photos workflow without canceling out and going to the album view.
